Four gang members arrested in shooting

SANTA ANA Four men were arrested early Sunday morning after a suspected gang-related shooting in a 7-Eleven parking lot. No one was injured.

Police do not know the exact circumstances that led to the shooting, said Cmdr. Eric Paulson. But because the four arrested are documented gang members, police believe the shooting was gang-related, he said.

A little after 1 a.m., police responded to the 7-Eleven at 1203 S. Standard Ave. Police found four casings and were told suspects fled the scene in a four-door sedan, Paulson said.

About a block away, police found a car matching the witnesses' description. Inside, police found four men and three guns, Paulson said.

The men in the car told police they were fired on by men standing outside the 7-Eleven, Paulson said.

The men arrested were identified as Juan Alejendre, 22; John Sanchez, 22; Marvin Reyes, 18; and Anibal Alejendre, 24. All four were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and of being a gang member in possession of a firearm.

Police say more than one suspect in the shooting is still at large, Paulson said.
